Xiao Yao looked at Feng Wuya.
Feng Wuya was also looking at Xiao Yao.
His gaze lingered on Chu Qianli's face for a moment.
Afterward, he kept staring at Xiao Yao.
Chu Qianli clenched her fist.
If she remembered correctly, Feng Wuya and Chu Qianli had a very good relationship.
There were rumors that he and Chu Qianli had actually gotten together in private and had done countless things that wronged Feng Yexuan.
But Feng Yexuan loved Chu Qianli deeply and also protected his fifth brother, so he had always turned a blind eye.
Now Feng Yexuan was indifferent to her, and as for Feng Wuya, after returning, he wasn't enthusiastic about her at all.
"Fifth Prince, long time no see, are you well?"
Chu Qianli walked over slowly, not even glancing at Xiao Yao, who had almost been stabbed by her subordinate.
Fifth Prince!
The people around them were shocked!
No! Something was really wrong!
That feeling of unease grew stronger in their hearts!
However, they didn't know how to articulate it.
Nor did they know how to investigate it!
Especially Feng Wuya, who looked at Chu Qianli with a gaze so complex that he himself didn't know what he was feeling.
...
That night, Feng Wuya stayed at Prince Xuan's mansion, not returning to his own Prince Xiaoyao mansion, nor seeing anyone else.
"So, after you left Long Xinghe's entourage, you returned with Tie Xin and the guards by yourself?"
Feng Yexuan waved his hand, and Leng Ji immediately cleared the area.
Only Tie Xin and the two of them remained to serve.
Upon hearing Prince Xuan's words, Tie Xin spoke first before their prince could, "Your Highness, I believe there might be a misunderstanding here."
That night, their prince had heard Jiang Tao's joke and thought Long Xinghe was really going to drug him, so he left in a huff that very night.
"Actually, Jiang Tao and Miss Long chased after us later, but it was just because..."
Tie Xin glanced cautiously at Feng Wuya and said in a low voice, "It was because Miss Long said she was afraid you wouldn't be happy to see her, so she could only protect you from afar."
Feng Wuya remained silent.
Feng Yexuan stared at his somber face and couldn't help but smile, "So, you actually knew in your heart that she was protecting you?"
"So what?" To try and drug him, to use such despicable means, such a friend was not worth befriending!
To think that for a period of time, he had actually considered her a friend!
"Your Highness, you have truly misunderstood Miss Long."
Tie Xin sighed helplessly, "Although Miss Long doesn't want to mention this to Your Highness again, fearing it would hurt Your Highness's pride, Your Highness, I saw it clearly, Miss Long's feelings for you..."
Feng Wuya waved his hand.
Even with more words to say, Tie Xin could only force himself to swallow them.
If the Prince didn't want to hear it, nothing he said would matter.
The Prince's prejudice against Long Xinghe was too deep, and it would likely not be easy to change his impression.
Feng Yexuan, however, felt like laughing.
"Fifth Brother, you... really dislike Long Xinghe that much?"
In fact, his fifth brother, while not fond of getting close to girls, would not actively dislike anyone.
If he didn't like someone, he simply wouldn't give them any opportunity to get close, but to hold a grudge or dislike them, that would never happen.
Feng Wuya would not let his thoughts be occupied by an irrelevant woman.
"It seems Long Xinghe truly holds a different significance for you than ordinary girls."
"Fourth Brother, I have no intentions towards her, please stop guessing."
If it were anyone else, Feng Wuya would have been too lazy to explain.
But this was different; this was his most respected Fourth Brother.
Unwilling to discuss his own affairs further, Feng Wuya changed the subject, "Fourth Brother, A'Li is not herself."
